Examples of Our Litigation Work

Complex Commercial Litigation and Other Litigation

We represented a client who developed a major software advance with broad potential application. His marketing efforts had been stymied by an erroneous negative review of his product which prevented it from being marketed. We litigated this matter on his behalf and obtained a settlement which resolved the negative review and enabled him to resume his marketing efforts. We immersed ourselves in the technical aspects of software and located and worked closely with a nationally recognized expert.

We represented a foreign client simultaneously in New Jersey State and Federal Courts in connection with a contract dispute concerning certain cutting edge medical devises and resolved the matters favorably to our client.

We successfully defended a bank in complicated lender liability litigation against the bank.

We represented a client in the music business against claims by an adversary to rights in the client's business and/or songs and obtained a favorable resolution for our client.

We have represented clients in disputes concerning large construction projects. We concluded the matters favorably for our clients. In one case our client was a major subcontractor on a large sewage plant construction project who contracted to dispose of environmentally sensitive materials.

We successfully represented a citizens group and individuals in opposing a large proposed retail development in a local downtown area. We filed a Complaint in New Jersey State Court seeking to overturn the approval of the development and a use variance granted by the local Zoning Board of Adjustment. This litigation was hotly contested. The Law Division Judge ruled in our clients' favor reversing the approvals and variance. The Appellate Division affirmed the Law Division decision and certification was denied by the New Jersey Supreme Court. This case is reported at Care of Tenafly, Inc. v. Tenafly Zoning Board of Adjustment, 307 N.J. Super. 362 (App. Div. 1998) certif. den., 154 N.J. 609 (1998). Our adversaries did not give up. They sought relief under "Mount Laurel" affordable housing principles and filed a new case in New Jersey State Court. We tried this case to a verdict along with several other parties. The verdict was in favor of our client and against development. Eventually, the matter was settled and the development opposed by our clients was not built.

We have foreclosed mortgages on behalf of banks and private clients and we have foreclosed tax sale certificates.
